Aside from the snide obvious answer (Um, because no one bothered writing/painting/orally reporting about dinosaurs), don't you think the bible/koran/torah/upanishads etc would at least mention one story about the difficulties of life with the T. Rex milling about? Something tells me this would be the prevailing problem of the day... not begatting and smoting and taxing and the like.

That assumes you have the first clue about the actual nature of T-Rex's rather than the assumed nature. Elephants are huge and rather dangerous looking and are not in the least slow when spooked. But they don't run around eating people. Most of what we hear about dinosaurs is hyped to get people interested so that research can be continued by robbing the public coffers.

And btw, the bible does mention a gargantuan beast. It has a name given that has common usage even now. Try reading.

Non-gargantuan dinosuars didn't warrant a mention, then?

You mean this?
40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox

Hmmm, so that's the brontosaurus I guess. But I'm called again to discern literal from symbolic with this:
40:18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

Sigh. Couldn't possibly be a hippo or a wildebeest (actual real lives Middle Eastern/n. African animals of the day) could it?
